I installed XP home via bootcamp on this new MBP and unlocked Live7 on that.
Trying to authorize XPhome now it seems that the license I have is OEM and will not work.
...So i will need to buy Xp again I guess.
Will saving unlock.cfg and replacing it after installing Live 7 on the 'new' XP home allow Live to run unlocked?
I'm guessing the challenge code can't be based on the XP serial as I have already unlocked but haven't entered an XP serial.
Anyone tried this?
Or have any ideas?
What if i install Xp Pro? (might be able to get it cheap)
Another unlocking question: same machine, new XP license

If your XP serial is a legit OEM serial, just call the number and get Microsoft to authorise it. They will do it over the phone no problems.

Wiki says that there are 2 types of OEM license ad only one is transferable to other systems.
Anyone know how to tell which is which?

The first is when a pre-built computer is purchased, there is an OEM disk that comes with the system, which can not be transferred to any other system, because that disk is designed to run only with the specific system components. The second type of OEM operating system is one that can be purchased, and that can be transferred to any other system, without the dependence on the systems components. The main difference between the two is that one is only meant for that specific system, and the other can be used on any system.
